Summary
The Raise is a battery-powered, wheeled-compact cobot platform built on dual UR20 arms that prints layout, drills anchors, and installs facade brackets on concrete slabs, ceilings, and walls. It covers overhead drilling, MEP penetration marking, and ceiling grid layout including bracket installation for curtain wall trades; taping, framing, and board work stay with the crew. On a 1,000-ft high-rise, glaziers stay inside the handrail while the robot marks curtain-wall layout at the leading edge, six feet beyond the crew. Raise has been shipping since 2023 with 10 confirmed deployments across healthcare and commercial construction in the United States.
How it works on your site
Overhead Drilling & Anchoring
The robot drills using specialized attachments with force-torque sensors that detect material resistance changes to prevent cracking and bit breakage. It accesses clearances as low as 1.5 inches and completes layout for multiple trades in a single run, with the crew handling coordination between files and field conditions.
MEP Penetration Marking
The robot locates itself via total station and prism, drives to each point, and marks the specified geometry. Ceiling and wall marking runs alongside floor layout in the same pass; the crew handles file preparation and control point establishment before the robot begins.
Ceiling Grid Layout
The robot performs layout at the building leading edge, then installs FOS and TOS brackets and runs torque inspection in the same workflow. Onboard depth cameras detect obstacles; one operator runs the robot while the crew handles glazing, alignment verification, and slab prep. The system logs XYZ coordinates for every installation and flags misaligned embeds in real time.
